Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint (M) of PQ. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

P is (2,8)

Q is (-6,-6)

Equation

Midpoint = (x1 + x2)/2,(y1 + y2)/2

Solution

x1 = - 6

x2 = 2

y1 = -6

y2 = 8

M = (-6 + 2)/2, (-6+8)/2

M = -4/2, 2/2

M = -2 , 1

Just to make sure that you know that the answer is reasonable, I've put the midpoint (-2,1) on a graph with the two endpoints. You could print the points out and check it with a ruler.
